About the Artwork:
This Shin-hanga woodblock print depicts Horyu-ji Temple in Nara on a rainy day. A five-story pagoda stands tall above the scene, while the wet cobblestones reflect the surrounding architecture. The delicate depiction of rain and light creates a serene atmosphere, combining traditional ukiyo-e techniques with modern light effects.
